How does climate impact the design of a school building?
If you live in a climate with very cold winters, it may seem strange that the hallways and stairways at the Nueva School are not inside the building, but exposed to the weather. But the climate in San Francisco is rather mild all year round; it never gets very hot or very cold. Because the temperature during the year typically ranges from 55° F to 85° F, the architects could design separate buildings on the school’s campus where students move from one activity or class to another.
